Lawrence:
How dear to our hearts are these halls of thine, the days that were so fair!
The memories of eager friendships made all the
happy hours to share.
No poet in story throughout the years has made thee
known to fame.
May our constant efforts, work well done, bring
honor to thy name.
We pledge to thee our loyalty; we’ll give thee of
our best.
And by our upright deeds our love, for thee shall
we attest.
In foreign land, in distant parts, our fortune we
may try.
But deep within our hearts we’ll keep the memory of
our Lawrence High.
